Message from the Vice-Chancellor 2

The 2019 to 2021 years showed that we are in a volatile and unpredictable world. Even though some of our courses were implementing full virtual or blended learning, the advent of COVID-19 fast-tracked a move to virtual learning, although we never thought that we would hold virtual graduations. As a university of technology, we need to embrace this change.

I am grateful for the funding from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation that enabled our transition to emergency remote learning, ensuring that no student was left behind.

I also express my appreciation to our inaugural Convocation Executive for launching the Convocation COVID-19 Fund in 2020. The Fund provided learning equipment to students who did not have the means to learn remotely. I thank CPUT suppliers, staff members, alumni and other donors who donated either cash or equipment to the campaign.

Our Oneness and Smartness vision is to create Africa’s leading Smart University of Technology, globally renowned for innovation, with graduates that shape a better world for humanity.

As of the 2021 academic year, NSFAS no longer provides funding for second qualifications, including postgraduate certificates, postgraduate diplomas, honours, master’s and PhD degrees. A media statement issued by the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation on 23 February 2022 noted that “Government policy prioritises funding of poor students to at least acquire a first qualification”. This happens at a time when the economy is performing poorly, with a more than 60% youth unemployment rate.

Young graduates have been taking the option of remaining at tertiary institutions until they find employment. This creates additional expectations for us to raise funds to assist our students to pursue further qualifications. I am humbled by the donors who have continued to fund our students and I hope that we can count on their continued support.

In October 2018, I launched the Vice-Chancellor’s Prestigious Achievers Award to contribute to reviving the diminishing capacity to supervise postgraduate students, research and innovation and the transformation of the sector. I also launched the Third-Stream Income Committee where we collate all our efforts to generate income through third streams such as philanthropic donations, consultancy work and lease of facilities. I thank all CPUT departments and faculties that are making the effort to grow the income of the University. I thank our clients and donors again for their continued support of the University.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not going away. In 2019, we launched our ‘One Smart CPUT’ decadal plan. Our Oneness and Smartness vision is to create Africa’s leading Smart University of Technology, globally renowned for innovation, with graduates that shape a better world for humanity. I invite the funding community to join our One Smart CPUT journey. We don’t need to predict the future; we do need to create the future.

PROF CHRIS NHLAPO | Vice-Chancellor and Principal

CPUT DONOR REPORT 2021

Although there was an increase in the income raised in the 2021 academic year compared to 2020, the income raised was 25% less when compared to 2019. This is attributed to the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the way we conduct our business. Funding income decreased sharply from R163 million in 2019 to R118 million in 2020. When COVID-19 hit, the government put the country into a heavy lockdown in March 2020, only allowing essential workers to continue with their pre-COVID working conditions. Besides losing revenue, many companies shut down and the University lost many donors in the process. The hospitability and entertainment industry has still not recovered from the pandemic. Many organisations were not prepared to work remotely. This resulted in many donors delaying funding us, not conducting their normal project visits and not effectively adjudicating funding applications.

Happily, the income received between 2020 and 2021 shows that the economy is starting to acclimatise to working remotely. We anticipate that the income will increase year to year.

Nevertheless, matching the R163 million raised in 2019 might be a tall order, given the lingering impact of the pandemic. However, it seems to be a reasonable target for the University to raise at least R134 million, which is an average annual income for the three years.

Message from the Advancement Director

Firstly, let me thank the donors of the University who funded our students facing financial difficulties. More than 85% of the income raised by the University directly benefitted CPUT students. We also thank donors who funded our research and community engagement projects. I trust that our donors will continue to be happy in our midst and continue to invest in the work of the University.

Ten of the 26 universities in South Africa participated in the Annual Survey of Philanthropy in Higher Education (ASPIHE) survey in 2019. The 2020 ASPIHE report on South Africa notes that R483 million was raised from international donors by 10 universities in the 2019 academic year. The ASPIHE survey reported the international donor community contribution in three categories: multi-lateral, bilateral and non-profit and charitable organisations (such as foundations and trusts). There is room for growth for CPUT in all categories of international funding although we are challenged by the lack of a dedicated fundraiser for the international sector.

This highlights the relationship between the amounts raised and the number of human resources in the fundraising office. The ASPIHE 2020 report notes that one university that has 40 staff members in its fundraising office raises over R400 million per annum. This university spends 50c for every R1 raised. The 10 universities that participated in the survey have an average of 13 staff members involved in

Message from the Advancement Director

fundraising at an average expenditure ratio of 16c for every R1 raised. Another university that has four staff members in their fundraising office raised R15,2 million in 2019 and spend 2c for every rand raised. CPUT, which has 10 human resources, spends 3c for every R1 raised and must be commended for maintaining the impressive expenditure ratio.

CPUT continues to experience low levels of alumni participation in fundraising drives. Even though CPUT is the largest university in the Cape region (the combined Western, Northern and Eastern Cape), with over 34 000 students enrolled per annum, the University’s level of alumni funding is very low compared to its three neighbouring universities in Cape Town. This might be attributed to the employability and socio-economic situation of the graduates of the University. Most of the students of the University are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. A survey conducted by the Advancement Department in 2021 found that 54% of CPUT’s graduates of the 2018 to 2021 period were unemployed.

More than 85% of the income raised by the University directly benefitted CPUT students.

I express my appreciation to students who responded swiftly to advertised bursaries and other opportunities presented by our donors. Unfortunately, many students are disadvantaged by delays in promised funding, especially by government departments or state-owned entities. The collective amount owed is substantial and we commend our students for being patient whilst we follow up on the promised funding with donors. We urge our donors to pay the funding on time. Donor funding plays a very critical role in the transformation agenda of the country. Many of our students are from destitute backgrounds and heavily rely on funding from our donors.

Lastly, I would like to thank the staff members of Advancement and colleagues within the University who are involved in fundraising. Fundraising is very challenging yet rewarding work, especially when the student sends a ‘thank you’ email or graduates through our efforts. The hard work of the fundraising colleagues is highly appreciated and we hope that this University will continue to count on every effort from colleagues.

I thank you.

– Daisaku Ikeda

Allow me, on behalf of the leadership collective of CONVEX to convey our warmest greeting to you, the members of the CPUT convocation. It gives me great pleasure to address you and give a status update on the activities and programmes we have embarked upon since the beginning of our tenure on 7 September 2019.

Before I zero into the activities and programmes that we have conducted, it would be remiss not to highlight the fact that convocation is a creature of statutes that is established in terms of section 51 of the CPUT institutional statutes. The statutes provide the governance framework for the constitution of convocation that delineates its objectives, powers and functions.

FUNDRAISING The first activity we embarked upon in relation to fundraising was to establish the CPUT Convocation COVID-19 Fund, a joint venture between convocation and the Office of Advancement.

We launched the COVID-19 fundraising campaign in May 2020.

Firstly, we requested the members of convocation, CPUT staff, students and the general public to support the campaign by sending an SMS with the words “covid fund” to 35525.

Secondly, donors could send cash donations to a dedicated institution bank account.

In the 2020 academic year, we raised a total amount of R396,993, which included both cash and in-kind donations. The Financial Aid Department assisted us to screen and identify needy students who were provided with bursaries and laptops.

In the 2021 academic year, we continued with our fundraising initiatives and managed to raise R200,000 for bursaries. In this regard, we also partnered with the Department of Retail Business Management to assist 30 unemployed graduates with placement in a SETA graduate placement project for 12 months. The rand value of this initiative was R1,920,000 which included monthly stipends of R5,000 to the graduate interns and 5% allocated for the administration of the whole project. The rand value of our initiatives during the 2021 academic year was R2,120,000.

In 2022, we received bursaries to assist students to the value of R220,000 and are still engaging about other ways to ensure that we keep fundraising and assisting as many students as we can. We have also taken the initiative to make convocation blazers as part of our fundraising efforts.

We have raised R2,736,993 in cash and kind since we took office in September 2019 and are continuing with our efforts for the remainder of our term. I thank you.

Message from the Convocation President

“The human spirit is as expansive as the cosmos. This is why it is so tragic to belittle yourself or to question your worth. No matter what happens, continue to push back the boundaries of your inner life. The confidence to prevail over any problem, the strength to overcome adversity and unbounded hope, all reside within you”

CPUT gives second chance to basic education learners The 2nd Chance Matric Rewrite is a national and local partnership aimed at helping matriculants to improve their matric results by rewriting subjects. The 2nd Chance programme was launched in 2015, with 375 learners, sponsored by the National Youth Development Agency and the Education Training and Development Practices SETA. In 2016, the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority came on board and sponsored 50 learners specifically for Mathematics and Physical Science. In the last few years, CPUT has been funding the programme and, to date, more than 2 000 learners from all over South Africa have improved their matric subject marks through the programme.

CPUT DONOR REPORT 2021

Subjects taught include Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Sciences, English First Additional Language, Mathematical Literacy and Accounting, but learners were able to rewrite any other subjects in the CPUT exam centre to maximise their chances of tertiary education access. The classes are conducted on Saturdays at CPUT’s Bellville Campus. Some of the educators in the project are CPUT alumni. They are supported by tutors who are final-year students and top achievers selected from CPUT’s Faculty of Education as well as the Faculty of Applied Science. CPUT is registered as a matric examination centre with Umalusi and endorsed by the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the Department of Basic Education. In 2018, CPUT was the largest exam centre in the Western Cape, and probably in the country, with over 520 people writing their exams at the CPUT exam centre. CPUT’s exam centre has hosted examinations since 2015 without any irregularities and is highly regarded by the WCED as an example of best practice.

This project has tangible benefits for all stakeholders involved. Learners get a second chance to improve their marks. This in turn opens a range of opportunities to study further. Educators and invigilators (especially those who are unemployed) are given the chance to become productive citizens while earning an income. Invigilators receive training and one former invigilator, Vuyo Mhlontlo, has progressed to become the Project Coordinator of the project.

This project has tangible benefits for all stakeholders involved.

One of our learners improved her Maths and Science marks and enrolled for medicine at the University of Free State.

The 2nd Chance has become very popular with CPUT staff members and alumni of the University. Some ‘insourced workers’ have used the opportunity to complete their matric and other staff members and alumni of the University have enrolled their children in the programme. Unlike the national government’s 2nd Chance Project, where learners are expected to download learning material online and study on their own without getting lessons and continuous assessment, CPUT’s 2nd Chance programme offers contact learning.

Ms Kanya Malgas was one of the learners who enrolled in the programme after failing matric twice before, passed matric and gained entry to the University. She has since graduated thrice from CPUT, achieving her Diploma in Sports Management in 2018, a Bachelor of Technology in Sports Management in 2019 and an Advanced Diploma in Project Management in 2021.

Jacqui Scheepers, the Manager of the 2nd Chance programme and the ServiceLearning and Civic Engagement Unit, says that plans include more academic disciplines in the tutoring and learner support programme. “This project has tangible benefits for all stakeholders involved. One of our learners improved her Maths and Science marks and enrolled for medicine at the University of Free State,” said Ms Scheepers.

Advancing the transformation agenda at CPUT Transformation is one of the cross-cutting pillars of CPUT’s ‘One Smart Vision 2030’ Strategy and the Vice-Chancellor scorecard in ensuring a transformed African university. The CPUT Advancement Directorate is assisting the Vice-Chancellor to sustain and fulfil his transformation mandate in line with the White Paper 3 on Transformation in Higher Education, which requires universities “To develop and implement funding mechanisms in support of the goals and transformation agenda of the national higher education plan” (DoE, 1997: 1.27).

Despite the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic interwoven with an existing socioeconomic context of poverty and deep, unsustainable inequalities in the higher education landscape, the CPUT Advancement Directorate is continuing to support the CPUT’s transformation mandate through various initiatives across the University.

Key among these is the support of the transformation component of the ViceChancellor’s Office to ensure that the ViceChancellor leads, monitors and oversees transformation across the University as the Chief Accounting Executive. The Advancement Directorate has also made it possible to support the Vice-Chancellor through dedicated human resource support to ensure the sustainability of transformation that delivers real benefits to students and staff.

CPUT DONOR REPORT 2021

The support included key effective deliverables to enhance ‘oneness’ and smartness’ through the following initiatives: • Prioritisation of gender-based violence (GBV), which includes the VC’s HeForShe Ambassadors Programme to engage men in fighting the scourge of GBV. • In collaboration with UN Women, the Advancement Directorate ensured that CPUT was the first university in South Africa to pilot and institutionalise the “VC’s Think-Tank on Gender Equality and Women Empowerment”.

• Enhancing the realisation of ‘oneness’ by enhancing human resource assistance to support Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Belonging” (DEIB) through survey coordination.

The next project will include the involvement of alumni in ‘transformative remodelling of our students to ensure that our graduates are socially responsive and respect human rights within our diversity in terms of race, gender, class, disability, language, socio-economic conditions and related identities.

The Advancement leadership is doing a sterling job of enhancing transformation by using financial inclusion, to enhance student support, scholarship of teaching, research and community engagement across the University.

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE: The Vice-Chancellor’s Prestigious Achievers Awards help academically remarkable students to fund their postgraduate studies and provide additional mentoring and support to enable them to complete their qualifications within time.

Vice-Chancellor’s Prestigious Achievers Awards The purpose of this award is to financially aid CPUT students, who have achieved excellent results throughout their academic studies and embody CPUT’s graduate attributes, to complete their master’s and/or doctoral studies. The awardees must not have been found guilty of any misconduct or unethical conduct at the University or by a court of law.

The programme has funded 30 students since its launch in October 2018. Of the 12 students who were funded in 2021, eight were female, contributing to the transformation agenda of the country.

Preference for funding is given to Vice-Chancellor’s Medallists and thereafter Dean’s Medallists and other students who are financially needy and demonstrate the CPUT graduate attributes. The doctoral students are awarded R120,000 per year for three years and the master’s students receive R100,000 for two years, depending on good academic progress. The award supports the cost of tuition, accommodation and logistics associated with research data collection, travelling costs during the presentation of research papers and experimental work.

Research topics of past awardees have included diverse subjects such as desalination, recycling and upcycling, and artificial intelligence. These research topics are directly contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals, in addressing the shortage of water and the growing pollution of the African continent and the globe.

CPUT provides STEM support to school learners

Prof Chris Nhlapo says: “As the ViceChancellor, I receive several requests from academically excelling students and staff to fund their studies. I have therefore decided to formalise the process of assisting these students through the establishment of the Vice-Chancellor’s Prestigious Achievers Award. This is my small and humble contribution to stimulating postgraduate studies at CPUT, building the next generation of academics and transforming the sector. I am grateful to Mauerberger Foundation for its contribution to the programme. I promise we will not disappoint them.

I am proud that we now have four graduates in the programme, two doctoral and two master’s graduates.

Their research output responds to the challenges of our continent. I hope that they will continue the relationship with us as alumni of the programme, and mentor others who will be starting with the programme. I am grateful to our inaugural chairperson, Prof Janet Condy, who diligently led the programme since its launch until her retirement in 2021.”

The status of Mathematics and Science education in South Africa has been declining according to results reported by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) and the Department of Basic Education, which show that South African learners are underperforming. The TIMMS reports show that only 50% of Grade 1 learners will reach Grade 12, and only 12% will enter tertiary education. Moreover, the DBE’s Annual National Assessment paints a similar picture of underperforming Mathematics and Science learners in South Africa. The outbreak of COVID-19 continues to disrupt learning.

CPUT has been involved in Mathematics and Science support to high school learners for over a decade, especially learners from local communities such as Philippi, Mfuleni, Ravensmead, Khayelitsha and Langa.

Towards the end of 2019, CPUT conducted a preproject survey on implementing an on-campus Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) support programme for schools near the University. Grade 9 to 12 learners from eight to twelve schools near CPUT’s Bellville campus (1322 learners in total) participated in the survey.

The survey confirmed a great need for Mathematics and Science support. Most parents in these communities cannot afford private tuition for their children. Sixtytwo percent (62%) of the learners expressed interest in additional Mathematics and Science support and 24% in Physical Sciences.

A volunteer group of CPUT lecturers and students provides extra Mathematics, Science and Engineering lessons. Schools that do not have science labs bring their learners to the CPUT labs to conduct their experiments, enhancing learning.

CPUT launches third satellite The MDASat (Marine Domain Awareness) constellation has two main priorities, namely the ocean economy and healthcare, and has been mandated by the Department of Science and Innovation to enhance South Africa’s ocean sovereignty. Operation Phakisa, a fast-track implementation of the National Development Plan, focuses on effective marine domain awareness. The Software Defined Radio payload being used in the mission aims to enhance the security and protection of South Africa’s marine resources. MDASat follows the successful development, launch and operation of ZACUBE-1 (TshepisoSat) and ZACUBE-2. A suite of commercial CubeSat parts has also been developed by CPUT engineers to be used on the satellites.

CPUT’s Acting Chief Engineer on the project, Nyameko Royi, said increased visibility from space by more nations bodes well for all. “This mission would mark the first constellation of satellites developed and designed in Africa. The more we get people involved in space, the better. The more data we extract from space, the better for the world. This is a significant milestone for CPUT and South Africa,” he says.

Dean of the CPUT Engineering and Built Environment Faculty, Prof Marshall Sheldon, said the MDASat launch is the latest development in a long timeline of space engineering events at the University that began in 2008.

“Each successful development and launch is a paradigm shift away from the traditional space industry norms and we are proud to be at the centre of that. Attracting more undergraduate and postgraduate learners to careers in space science will ensure we can continue celebrating future successes,” she says.

On 13 January 2022, CPUT launched its third satellite mission into space from Cape Canaveral launch site in the USA. MDASat KEY SPECIFICATIONS The first three satellites of the MDA constellation carried an upgraded AIS receiver payload from ZACube-2 capable of: • Over-the-air upgrades: This means software can be developed and uploaded to the orbiting satellite when ready.

• Raw data: The payload captures raw data and enhances the opportunity for diagnostic testing on signal interference and decoding messages.

• Long Range AIS: These are two specific channels to be used as uplinks for receiving AIS messages by satellite.

• More effective messaging scheme: The first-generation payload was limited in how it could save data and have it extracted by the ground station. The enhanced data interface will optimise the use of the data transmitter’s bandwidth.

These enhancements pave the way for the future MDASat-2’s development and launch and minimises the risk of damage to the current payload. SpaceX, the company founded by SA-born entrepreneur Elon Musk, launched the constellation on 13 January 2022 at 17:25 local time (10:25 in Florida).
